Cons

A bit removed from the city center and major attractions

Features are limited -- no full-service restaurant

Most rooms are on the small side

Most rooms don't have tea/coffee makers

Bottom Line

The 81-room NH Barcelona Les Corts is a two-and-a-half-pearl option located in the Les Corts district, close to a shopping center and the Camp Nou soccer stadium. It's also close to a number of businesses, which makes it a popular choice for business travelers, but leisure travelers may find it's a bit far from the city center. Rooms tend to be on the small side, but they are generically modern and come with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning. There's not much in the way of features here, but a breakfast buffet is served daily and there's a 24/7 self-service snack bar. Travelers who'd like to be even closer to the soccer stadium could check out NH Barcelona Stadium, which adds a small pool, fitness center, restaurant, and bar.

Oyster Hotel Review

Simple hotel with few features, suitable for all sorts of travelers, especially business guests

This simple hotel falls squarely in line with NH's ethos, and makes for a simple option near Barcelona's main soccer stadium. For those who value functionality over style (and on-site activity options), it can be a decently pleasant place to unwind at night. The look throughout the hotel is basic, and the modern lobby is simple, with a wood paneled front desk and walls, with an abundance of light colors throughout. The self-service snack bar is across from the reception desk. A couple of tables and chairs provide places where guests can gather, though few ever do. Without many features, there's little to keep guests on-site during the day and things stay mostly quiet here. This hotel is especially popular with businesspeople who have business in the area, but couples and families also stay here, often to watch soccer at Camp Nou.

Quiet location in Les Corts close to shopping center, Camp Nou stadium, and public transportation

This hotel is located in a residential area in the district of Les Corts, about a five-minute walk from L'Lilla Diagonal shopping center. It's also about a 15-minute walk from the Camp Nou Stadium, where the wildly popular FC Barcelona soccer team plays. Several bars and restaurants surround the hotel, as well as businesses and shops of all kinds. Guests can walk to the closest metro station in 10 to 15 minutes and to the Sants train station in about 12 minutes. It will take 30 minutes or so to reach Plaza Catalunya by metro, which serves as the de facto center of town. From there, it's easy to walk to the Eixample, Barri Gotic, and El Raval neighborhoods, as well as Las Ramblas. Barcelona-El Prat Airport is about 20 minutes away by car or 45 minutes by public transportation.

Small, relatively modern rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning

Rooms tend to be on the small side, but they are reasonably modern, with wood floors and an abundance of deep red in everything from accent walls to drapery and desk chairs. There isn't much difference in style from one category to the next, and dark wood furniture with cream tabletops adds a nice bit of polish to the rooms. Amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, free Wi-Fi, and safes. Superior Rooms and Junior suites add free water and robes. Compact bathrooms are tiled and come with toiletries, towel warmers, and hair dryers. Some have showers only, and others have shower/tub combos. Bidets are not standard. All rooms have a balcony or terrace, and some have nice views of the city and mountains.

This hotel provides little in the way of features, but it does offer a buffet breakfast for a fee, served daily in a bright, sunny breakfast room. A self-service snack bar with a microwave is open around-the-clock and offers hot and cold food items and drinks. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, and bicycles can be rented on-site.
